Sediment transport in rivers - report on experimental and theoretical investigations

I: Flow of water in a curved open channel with a fixed plane bed II: Flow of water in a curved open channel with a fixed uneven bed III: Accuracy of measurements in a curved open channel In this report the flow of water in a curved open channel, which consists of a38 m long straight section followed by a 90° bend with a radius of 50 m (see...

Steady flow in shallow channel bends

Making use of a mathematical model solving the complete NavierStokes equations for steady flow in coiled rectangular pipes, fully-developed laminar flow in shallow curved channels is analysed physically and mathematically. Transverse convection of momentum by the secondary flow is shown to cause important deformations of the main velocity...
